Professional Asbestos Removal

Vancouver's Most Trusted Asbestos Removal Company

Glass House Environmental is Vancouver’s most trusted asbestos removal company — we’ve been protecting homes and businesses across Metro Vancouver for over 15 years now.

Our AHERA-certified team provides safe, compliant and thorough asbestos removal services for both residential and commercial properties. If your property was built before 1990, there’s a pretty high chance it contains asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

From insulation and ceiling tiles to floor tiles and pipe wrap — asbestos was widely used in Vancouver construction for decades. And when these materials get damaged or disturbed during renovations, they release microscopic fibres that pose serious health risks.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Vancouver?

Most residential asbestos removal projects in Vancouver range from about $1,500 to $15,000+, depending on the type and amount of material, how accessible it is, and whether the property is residential or commercial. Glass House Environmental provides a free on-site estimate so you have accurate pricing before any work begins.

How long does professional asbestos removal take?

A typical residential removal — such as a popcorn ceiling, vinyl flooring or attic vermiculite — usually takes one to three days. Larger or commercial projects can run a week or more. We confirm a realistic timeline during your free assessment and work to minimize disruption to your home or business.

Do I need asbestos testing before removal or renovation in Vancouver?

Yes. Under WorkSafeBC regulations, a qualified hazardous materials survey is required before renovating or demolishing any building constructed before 1990. We can arrange sampling and lab analysis first, then safely remove any confirmed asbestos-containing materials.

What asbestos-containing materials do you remove?

We remove the full range of asbestos materials found in BC homes and buildings, including vermiculite attic insulation, popcorn (stippled) ceilings, vinyl floor tiles and sheet flooring, drywall joint compound, pipe and duct insulation, and textured coatings.

Are you licensed and certified for asbestos removal in BC?

Yes. Glass House Environmental is AHERA certified, recognized by WorkSafeBC as a quality service provider, BBB A+ rated, and fully licensed and insured. Our crews follow strict containment, HEPA filtration and third-party air-monitoring protocols on every project.

What's the difference between asbestos removal, abatement and remediation?

Removal is the physical taking-out and safe disposal of asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos abatement is the broader controlled process of containing and eliminating the hazard, while asbestos remediation covers the complete cycle from testing and assessment through final clearance. If you're not sure which you need, our team will recommend the right approach during your free estimate.
